Making beautifully imperfect images with old imperfect cameras and lenses. So much more true to life in their imperfection than bland digitally sanitised alternatives which, striving to be sharper and clearer become “unreal” representations. IMO
Sliced fruit - imaged in a 1900s Houghton Victo plate camera on glass - the Wetplate collodion process.
These digitised images “flatten” the images which have so much more life in the hand.
